TEACHING THE ART
OF “WRITING HOME”
WASHINGTON, March L—“ Thous
ands of mer of draft age are learning
to read and w.ite in order th.at they
may communicate with their families
when away at camp,” is the statement
of Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart of the
Moonlight Schools of Kentucky and
1 resident of the Kentucky Illiteracy
Commission.
“We started to concentrate our
work on these future soldiers last
summer,” she said. “By the the time
they were drafted most of them could
sign their names to Liberty bonds
and write home. One boy told me
with pride that he could now write
to hfi mother and to young ladies.”
The National War Council of the
Y. M. C. A. has adopted the soldiers
readers introduced by the Kentucky
commission for use in the camps.
Through the Moonlight schools, Mrs.
Stewart said, the Kentucky women
who are learning to read and write
are also being taught the reasons for
the war.

ARE YOU PREPARED?
The most vital question in America today is individual
preparedness. The Great World War is causing us all to
have an eye to the future—individual preparedness for any
.thing that may come, but
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU
.that the purchasing value of an American dollar today is
about half of what it was 10 years ago. With one important
.exception, everything we eat, wear or use, has grown con
stantly more expensive. This is one reason why Life insur
ance stands pre-eminently alone among the things which
the American dollar it buying today. Relatively figured,
.there has been a very decided decrease in the cost of life
insurance during the past ten years.
WAR IS UPON US
We enter it reluctantly but proudly. We know for a cer
.tainty that many of our men “'Over There" will never come
back. And yet a certain average death rate is just as sure
.among those of us who-stay at home! Men are still subject
to all the ills that flesh is heir to, and the hazards of war
constitute one added reason for life insurance protection.
Mortality statistics show that at age 35, out of 1,000 men 9
.will die before the yea>- is out, but whether you will be one
of the 9 no one knows. *
. Theie is no better combination 0 f Investment, Savings and
Protection than that afforded by a policy in the MUTUAL
BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, of Newark, N. J.
.Itis a purely mutual company founded in 1845, with no
stockholders and all the savings go direct to the policyhold
.ers. It was founded for a distinct social purpose—to distrib
ute losses among thousands which to the individual would be
overwhelming.
The assets of-the company are diversified and of the
highest character. The Mutual Benefit has survived every
great panic in America. It went through the Civil War with
.credit to itself, and now bffers to the American people, at
this time of stress, secure life insurance protection, under a
liberal contract, at minimum cost. It is an American com
pany, operating on the mutual principle for the American
people.

FARMERS MAY STILL
SECURE FLOUR PERMITS
ATLANTA, Ga., March 2.
The card permit to farmers for ex
emption from the requirement to pur
chase simultaneously equal weight of
off-set cereals, is still in force and
effect. Dealers, wholesale and retail,
refluired by order of the food adminis
tration to respect and honor the iper
mits when properly signed and present
ed—and to retain each permit as his
authority for each transaction.
From several points in the state the
complaint has come to the office of
the food administration that individual
retail dealers have declined to accept
and honor permits. Investigation has
shown that some of these cases spring
from lac kof understanding and these
have been set right by proper informa
tion. Cithers have been cited to show
cause in Atlanta on a fixed date why
they should not be ruled for violation
of regulations .
The flour purchase permit issued to
farmers is an order of the federal food
administrator, and stands while in j
force with the same effect as other
federal laws. The cards must be
honored and respected.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF OLD
FASHION MUSTACHE CUPS?
ATLANTA, Ga., March 2. Be
vhiskered ones throughout the South
have raised the sentimental question
of what has become of the old-mus
tache cup. How long since you have
seen one in use?
If you are more than twenty years
you can remember when father was
presented with a pink China one for
his birthday and how proudly he in
haled his morning coffee through it.
One still sees, among good old time
Georgia crackers, the same kind of
huge mustaches that made such cups
practical, but. while the mustaches are
still here the cups have disappeared.

UN'S FRIEND
So Says Florida Lady Long Suffering |
With Poor Health Who Quickly
Recovers By Its Use.
READ WHAT SHE SAYS.
“Oh, I think Acid Iron Mineral is;
11 just wonderful for women troubled
like I was with poor health," says |
Mrs. A. H. Gallagher, of Antioch, Flor
ida.
T was terribly poor in health. I
i
had nervous indigestion so bad I
could scarcely eat anything at all. Gas
vould form on my stomach so bad I
would almost choke to death. Kidney
' trouble, aches and pains in my back
; rheumatism and female complaints, all
s combined managed ttwnake life miser
i able for me nutil a friend told me
■. about litis Acid Iron Mineral. It is
J everything they claim for it to be. I
gladly recommend it to all my friends.
It relieved me of indigestion and gas
tritis, and the female trouble has dis
appeared,” says Mrs. Gallagher.
Acid Irou Mineral is strange to say
; not an acid medicine. It has no al
cohol or dope to deaden pain or senses.
; It is just the simple highly concen
j trated compound made from ore dug
■ out of a medicinal iron ore mine,
| leeched, filtered, tested and bottled,
! very powerful for home use and use
; in hospitals and by doctors.
It is so strong that just a teaspoon
ful or less in a glass of water makee a
powerful dose. How quick it acts even
j ir. the most stubborn cases is easily
